Easy Access

Nearly the entire robot is accessible from the opened lid of Garcia.  The clamshell design allows easy manipulation of interior portions of the robot while keeping a clean, protective shell in place when the lid is closed.  The lid includes two bolt-in panels made of easily modified acrylic to allow additional sensors, cameras, or host CPU configurations to be added.  These panels are available separately allowing easy repair and customization of the robot.
